Sounds like you have some self evaluations coming.
In a democracy the voters hold the keys.
Thumbs on the scale for sure but the great loophole in the system is the vote.
Use it well or lose it.
I'd bet you have some votes that shame you.

Absolutely ridiculous, not to mention dangerous. They can't even find enough "gang member/drug running" illegal immigrants to justify what they're doing now, much less $2 billion in additional efforts.

I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

this late-hour pivot by Piers Morgan of coming across like a carbon-based life form simply by interviewing the stuff you scrape out of a gas station dumpster .... it's strange, but I guess scumbags like him could pivot to worse things
PIERS: “You’re not gay?”
FUENTES: “No. But women are very difficult to be around.”
P: “Should they vote?”
F: “No.”
PIERS: “They should stay home?”
FUENTES: “Yeah.”
PIERS: “So you’re just a misogynistic dinosaur. Have you ever had sex?”
FUENTES: “No.”
